Many families travel to campus during the move-in period and families traveling long distances often plan a vacation or stay a few days to enjoy New York City. We encourage the visit to occur prior to move-in or after students are settled in order to assist incoming students with their transition. Throughout move-in and orientation (NSOP) it is critical for incoming students to connect with their neighbors and focus on settling into their new community. Additionally, students should be familiar with the Guest Policy. Families traveling for commencement will receive additional information and can browse the GradZone website.
